San Francisco Giants vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the Giants here. I get that the Giants haven’t been in the finest form this season, but the Giants do one thing well fairly often, and that’s win home games started by Logan Webb. Webb’s been solid in San Fran for the better part of his career and this year’s been no different. Chris Bassitt’s pitched well on the road but the Blue Jays just don’t seem to get it done in those spots and the Blue Jays’ bullpen has been extremely shaky as of late. Give me the Giants in this one.
